And finally – This might come as a shock considering what all the actors have been saying but not everyone is entirely happy with the way the movie is heading. Several people have told me they feel like they are just ‘going over old ground’ with the things they are being asked to work on. The feeling is that The Force Awakens is a rehash of the original movie and doesn’t have enough new ideas in it.

This was my biggest fear is that they go too 'nostalgic' to please the fans, and we don't get anything new.

Part of me believes this rumor because I have always suspected that there isn't much more of a story to tell in this universe (which makes the OT movies that much more great when you think about it). Heck, they started rehashing stuff in ROTJ!

There is still a part of me that can't believe they would be this dumb to essentially do a remake of Episode IV, because fans like me won't even bother with Episodes 8 & 9.

Putting it all together, it could be that the climax of the movie ends up being the New Republic defending their own death star while they try to blow up a planet. It seems like an obvious mirrored rehash of a story, so I hope it's not true. Given the stories about JJ's paranoia, this could be disinformation that he is planting to mess with the scoop websites.
